i am going to go to the dillership tomorrow. and i'll be bitching big time about the defect timing belt.

Sounds like you didn't have it tensioned properly, if it skipped a tooth.
How did you set the tension?

aight, it was tensioned properly but i think i have figured out the problem, one of the bolts on the bottom got unscrewed and was touching the belt, i guess it started stretching cuz of that and finally broke, dillership replaced the belt and i will be puting it in tomorrow
thanx god it's a 924 not 924s or 944 the valves are fine |
